141 Rules of the Battlefield
Realizing that his guess had come true, Zhang Luo smiled and asked, "Then can you tell me your name?" ”
-- In addition to Frankenstein, the origin of the other two "unnamed" leaders of the Strange Tales Research Society has always been a question that Zhang Luo is curious about.
Now that he has seen another "boss" with his own eyes, he naturally will not miss this opportunity.
However, the "boy", who is weakened because he has just sold two kidneys, obviously will not tell his identity so easily:
"Frankenstein trusts you, but you don't have my trust, newcomer." The little boy sitting on the sofa squinted his eyes.
Hearing the boy's words, before Zhang Luo could speak, the Bloody Mary next to him muttered: "It's obviously a waste of wood, but it's quite powerful to pretend......"
"Oh?" The boy turned his gaze to Bloody Mary and whispered, "Have you forgotten who saved you and made you a member of the Order?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the silver-haired Lori, who had been looking like a teacher asking for guilt, suddenly wilted, and was silent for a moment before whispering: "Anyway, I only follow Lord Frankenstein now." ”
"Well, can we get down to business?" Determined that he could not ask the identity of this person, Zhang Luo also decisively gave up the idea of continuing to ask, and went straight to the topic: "We need a guide to enter Donrosk City." ”
"Donroske...... I'm not in good health right now, and it's hard to help. The boy pointed to the dark circles under his eyes.
"Oh? But that's because you're still sealed with power, right? Zhang Luo smiled meaningfully.
Previously, the man had apparently mentioned that he had sealed most of his power. But even if he didn't say it, Zhang Luo could speculate: after all, as the leader of the Strange Tales Research Association, the combat power level is still an amazing S+, this person's strength is far beyond Frankenstein, if he is weak because he has no kidney, he is really sorry for his ability.
"Yes, and those powers will be sealed forever." The boy's tone was very resolute: "I said it a long time ago, I won't go to the battlefield anymore......"
"Then you can always provide some information to save your life, right?" Zhang Luo stared at the "boy" in front of him.
Even if this person is reluctant to return to Donrosk City, he must know the battlefield extremely well after experiencing the Battle of Donroske.
Because Zhang Luo has too little information at present, and he is still in a state of blackening his eyes, he has no idea why that battlefield is terrifying to the monsters. The first thing he wanted to figure out now was what was going on in the city of Donrosk.
"Well, I can explain, after all, you haven't been there yet."
The boy lazily leaned back on the tattered couch and asked, "Do you know the 'living house'?" ”
Recalling the first room he had entered in the third act of the Nightmare Theater, Zhang Luo immediately nodded.
- Some of the buildings are alive, and they may not be set in a dream, but they are real, after all, Faust once said that the contents of the third act of the Nightmare Theater were searched by Mephistopheles from all over the world.
"Well, then I won't explain about the house, what you need to know is that the city of Donrosk is a huge 'creature'." The boy rubbed his eyes.
Hearing this, Zhang Luo immediately understood what he meant: "Donrosk City is alive?" ”
"That's right, this is the first time I've seen a living structure of this size, and that's why the executioners and conquerors are fighting there." The boy laughed, "They all think that somewhere in the city of Donroske, there is a legendary 'engine of the world' that provides a constant source of power for the city. It's a bunch of idiots to snatch something you don't know exists......"
"What's the World Engine?" Zhang Luo, who heard the new term, suddenly became interested again.
The boy shook his head, "I don't know what it is, it's what gives life to that city anyway?" You can think of it as a giant heart or something......"
As he spoke, he opened the storage space and pulled out a yellowed map, carefully spreading it out on the broken coffee table with a missing leg. "This is the map of that city, what can you do with Frankenstein's development...... Oh yes, Executioner's Eye, scanning the map with Executioner's Eye will come in handy over there. ”
Speaking of this, the boy's already sallow face became worse: "Because the topography of that place will never change." ”
There was no need to explain at all, Zhang Luo already had a rough understanding of what would happen in Donrosk City, and asked tentatively: "You mean, that city will 'automatically repair' every day, right?" ”
"That's right, that's why most heretics think there's a 'world engine' hidden beneath the city. But to me, it might just be a curse or an enchantment. ”
The boy sighed and went on to explain: "From midnight to three a.m. local time, it's time for the city to be restored. After three o'clock, it will return to its previous state. Remember never to enter the city during the restoration period, there are quite a few guys who have tried and never returned. ”
"Hah, it's like a game." Zhang Luo laughed out loud.
-- Even after the devastation of various heavy weapons, the situation of being able to restore the original "venue" the next day is more like a war game on a computer than in the real world. What's even more bizarre is that there is a fixed "maintenance time" every night, which is almost like the routine server maintenance of an online game......
For war maniacs, this kind of "never destroyed" battlefield is simply a dream stage. However, Zhang Luo knew that Donrosk City was obviously not so simple, there must be other mysteries.
Under his gaze, the boy, who was one of the leaders of the Strange Tales Research Society, thought for a moment and said slowly, "It is not only the buildings that will be restored, but sometimes some of the war dead will be resurrected. If you see a guy all gray, it's a war dead resurrected from the city. They don't have any concept of 'friendly forces', they just kill people when they see them. ”
"I see." Zhang Luo took the other party's words to heart, and then asked, "Is there anything else that needs attention?" ”
The boy frowned and thought about it, then nodded, and said a fact that surprised Zhang Luo slightly:
"Every night around eight o'clock, there would be a nuclear explosion in the city at regular intervals, and it seemed to be a 'protective measure' that the city of Donrosk had launched itself to clear the invaders. Remember to get out before then, and if you can carry the nuclear weapons, you can stay there and experience it......"
As soon as these words came out, there seemed to be a huge ellipsis on the top of Zhang Luo's head slowly rising, and he couldn't help but complain: "This is just a cheat......
"Well, so we all said, don't go to Donroske!" The silver-haired girl, who had been silent since the beginning of the topic, finally spoke: "Do you still want to go after hearing this?" Going there is like looking for death! ”
After Bloody Mary finished speaking, Zhang Luo raised the corners of his mouth, and a bright smile appeared on his face:
"Actually, after listening to this, I became more interested......
- Searching for hidden treasures in a living mad battlefield couldn't be better for him.
